JUSTIN.
I step into the club after the bouncer patted me down, stupid fool doesnât even know how to do his job, standing there and ogling all the girls,
I have a Glock in my waistband and the guy couldnât even tell.
I glance around, am a man on a mission.
After justice, my brother told me to come after my newest sister in-law, I just had to.
Justice kind of calls all the shots.
I look around and I see her sitting at the bar.
Well.
I walk to her, and just in time because she seems to be trying to dissuade an over enthusiastic clubber.
âI told you am with someoneâ
She is saying.
âI canât see nobody, girl, I just wanna buy you a drink, and show you a good timeâ
The a-hole slurs.
I place my hand on the small of her back and she startles but relaxes when she sees itâs me.
âSheâs with me man, bugger offâ
I growl and the guy takes the hint.
âI didnât need you to step in, I had it all under controlâ
I just raise an eyebrow.
âIt was so obvious you had it under controlâ
I say sarcastically.
She growls..
Adorable.
She always tries to act tough but I can see past all that, sheâs a softie under it all.
I signal to the bartender and he steps for.
âCognac, neatâ
I say and he steps away to get me my drink.
âWhat are you doing here?â
She asks.
âJustice and Sage sent me to play babysitterâ
I say.
She winces in anger.
Am a man of few words, I see no reason in sugarcoating the truth, I give it to you just as it is.
âWell, you can go back and enjoy the wedding reception, am fine right hereâ
Ha, did I forget to mention itâs the wedding reception of my brother and his best friend today.
I would have been enjoying my self if not for the spoilt brat I have to attend to.
âThey left for the hotel anyway, am sure I can spare a few hours with youâ
I say.
âOh, how generous of you, oh great Justin Maxwellsâ
âI tryâ
I say with mock benevolence and she cracks a smile.
She is beautiful, am sure some idiot out there would appreciate her beauty, soon.
I smile as the bartender steps forward with my drink, I take a long swig after paying.
âSo what do you want to do?â.
I ask.
âWhat?â
âI gave up a night of partying for you Sandy, so tell me, what do you want to do? I canât be boredâ
I say this as I check my wristwatch, itâs way too dark inside the club, i canât see a thing.
âYou can just leave, seems you are in a sort of hurryâ
She says and I detect a slight hint of bitterness in her tone.
I instantly feel guilty and for the life of me I donât know why.
I turn to her fully on my stool and i really look at her.
She looks miserable.
Why am I just seeing this now?
âSandy? Whatâs wrong?â
I ask.
She shrugs.
âTell me.â
I say.
âYou will think am stupidâ.
She replies.
âWell, you can be stupid with me squirrelâ
I say, she hates that name.
I always called her squirrel since forever, after the squirrel in SpongeBob, Sandy.
She scoffs, not getting annoyed as I predicted.
I let it go, I signal to the bartender againâŠ
âOpen a tab, for the both of us, keep the drinks comingâ
I say and he nods.
She turns to me.
âYou plan on getting drunk ?â
I smile as I take another swig of my drink.
âWe are getting drunkâ
She breaks a smile and I think for the second time how lucky her boyfriend will be.
We drink for a while, well she drinks I just listen to her prattle.
Sheâs cute, when sheâs drunk, I will give her that.
âSo I said, why didnât you just give her the camera, simpleâ
She says and I nod.
She has been regaling with stories of the media house she works in.
I listen to every single thing with concentration.
âSo tell me JM, what happens in your line of workâ
âItâs confidential baby girl, canât say one thingâ
She blushes.
âI like it when you call me baby girlâ
She says.
âSandraâŠ.â
âYou do know I have had a massive crush on you since forever right?â
I did know, I just ignore it.
âSandraâŠ.â
âWhy donât you see me like that?, am a woman JMâ
I know, Christ, do I know?
âI will be everything you want, J, justâŠ..â
Sheâs drunk, I can tell.
When did we get to this point?
âOk, time to go homeâ
She frowns and rests her head on the bar counter.
âI donât wannaâŠ.â
She slurs, adorable.
I pay for our drinks and I lead her to the door.
I drive home, to my home, she can spend the night here.
When we get there I lead her to her room, the one she uses when she is here and I help her off her shoes.
âJustin, JustinâŠ.â
She giggles, I just smile.
âSandra Justin Maxwells, umm, sounds niceâ
I shake my head, she is so drunk.
âWill you be able to get ready for bed? â
I ask.
She nods absently.
âGood, call me if you need anythingâ
She nods again and I exit.
I make my way to my room and I drop my Glock on the night stand as I prepare for bed, I bath and I fall in bed with my boxer.
About two hours later I hear my door open and i freeze, I was asleep but years of training has made me a light sleeper.
I pretend to be asleep and I feel my covers slide down and a warm body press to mine.
I open my eyes and sit up.
âSandraâŠâ
âPlease JM, just for tonightâ
She says as she leans up to me.
âSandraâŠ. youâre drunkâ
âNot anymoreâ
She says as she gently kisses her way from my cheek to my chest.
I close my eyes.
Feels so good .
Christ, it has been so long.
Too long.
I pull away and she instantly flinches.
âSandraâŠâ
âPlease Justin, just tonightâ
She says as she reaches for my hand on her thigh.
I give up.
What can it hurt? Just one night, just one night.
I pull her to me and I kiss her, bringing her body closer.
Yes, just one night.
